Prince Charles Philippe d'Orléans, Duc d'Anjoy, Duke Consort de Cadaval, announced his candidacy for the upcoming legislative elections for the French Parliament.
"I am French by birth, lived twenty years in Spain, I am married to a French-Portuguese and living in Portugal for five years. My professional activities also led me to Monaco and Andorra. I like to commit myself to serve the public interest. I spent nine years in the French army, two years at the United Nations, and always got involved in social and humanitarian actions. And this is what I want to do in the National Assembly, " he said.
The Duc d'Anjou is the eldest son of Prince Michel of France, Count d'Evreux, and of his wife the former Beatrice Pasquier de Franclieu, a lady well-known in Spain for her prominent role in representing haut couture houses. The Count d'Evreux is a photographer of note.
The husband of Diana, Duchess of Cadaval. announced last Wednesday, the 9th, his candidacy for election in France and used social networks to explain the reason for his candidacy.
The prince, whose deep blue eyes are a characteristic of the French royal family, is running to represent French citizens living overseas (Portugal, Spain, Andorra and Monaco). The French Parliament allows French citizens living overseas to have representation in the legislative chamber.

Shocking! – French Legitimists Distort Historical Fact
Revisionism is never a good thing...
In an official death notice for Doña Emanuela de Dampierre, Widow Sozzani, French Legitimists, who viewed her as the "only" wife of the late Infante don Jaime of Spain, Duke of Segovia, have rudely ignored all mention of the fact that the august lady was married in 1949 to Italian Antonio Sozzani, to whom she remained married until his death in 2007.
If one reads the Institut Duc d'Anjou's press release it is as if two different people died.
French Legitimists, whose mantra is opposition to the House of Orléans, at whatever cost, have once again done historical revisionism...a subterfuge that they are prone to embrace far too often.
The fact is that the late Infante don Jaime married doña Emanuela de Dampierre in 1935. They had two children. The marriage was extremely unhappy and dysfunctional. Divorce ensued in 1947. Emanuela found happiness with Italian businessman Antonio Sozzani, whom she married in 1949. They were still married when death came to Antonio in 2007.
Historical revisionism helps no one and lays one wide open for criticism.

Prince Harry Receives a Humanitarian Award in DC
Prince Harry of Wales was the recipient of this year's Distinguished
Humanitarian Leadership Award from the Atlantic
Council.
On hand to hand the Prince his accolade was former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell, among many very distinguished guests.
The second son of the Prince of Wales carries out widespread humanitarian efforts throughout Africa, following on the footsteps of both his parents, but with particular inspiration by his late mother's fondness for that continent.
